My setup is frugal install from flash drive using LxPup-14.03.1/Slacko. I am attempting to create my first pet and have run into a problem that I hope the community can assist me in solving.

The source for TestDisk-7.0-WIP was downloaded from the TestDisk website. Dependencies identified were libncurses, Ext2fs, EWF, Iconv, Jpeg, NTFS, Reiserfs, zlib but that they were all likely to be in the operating system. I assumed they were in puppy but turned out not to be so.

Make processing ended with 2 errors (see end of post). Consequently, I didn't expect a working pet but continued the process to completion for the experience. A testdisk-7.0-WIP-i686.pet was created, the new '.specs' file was found in testdisk-7.0-WIP-i686 and the new '.desktop' file in testdisk-7.0-WIP-i686/usr/share/applications/ as stated. The pet was installed and name and icon appeared correctly in the menu. However, despite compiling and installing ncurses, the dependency checker reported libncurses missing from the pet. And when checking the /usr/bin, /usr/lib/, /usr/include/, /usr/man and /usr/share/terminfo directories to confirm the ncurses installation, I saw other ncurses files.

A pet made before the ncurses installation was uninstalled correctly from the PPM, so I am confident I'll be ok when the make errors and missing libncurses dependency error is solved.

LXTerminal buffer is not large enough to capture the entire output. FWIW, here is the last 30 or so lines of the make output.
